cars - past
2006 MazdaSpeed6: 2.3L I4 Turbo. FAST, but thanks to the recession became
    to expensive to keep. With modifications: 380hp Picture

1999 VW Passat: 1.8L I4 Turbo. Fun little project that made me really love
    volkswagens. A loose muffler bearing sent this car into a guard rail at about
    50mph. This was followed by a trip on a flat bed to the junk yard. With
    modifications: 220hp Picture

1998 Honda Accord SE: 2.3L I4. Purchased this as a 'family' car (girl I
    was dating had 4 kids). fun for awhile, but the automatic transmission got
    boring fast. With modifications: 155hp.

1972 Fiat 128: 1.1L I4. Owned this turd for 3 days before a fuel leak sent the
    burned-out remains to the junk yard. With modification: who cares?

1988 Toyota Pickup: 2.4L I4. Some suspension work and a slight engine mod
    (pulled the stock motor and transplanted a 2.4L 22RTE turbo powerplant).
    With modifications: 208hp.

1969 Ford Cortina GT: 1500cc I4. My first love...still wish I had one. This
    car was brought over from England in 1970. Coolest car I've ever owned.
    With modifications: 78hp (that's not a typo) Picture
